SoCal Regional results

“A great team effort today,” Falcons coach Chris Drake said. “No one player shot lights out, but all six shot good, consistent rounds and minimized mistakes.”

It was sunny and in the low 80s to go along with favorable course conditions at Brookside Golf Club in Pasadena, but it was an otherwise mostly tough day for individual local golfers.

La Jolla Country Day’s Khalid Attieh and Rancho Bernardo’s Brandon Mai did not advance to the state championship June 6 at San Gabriel Country Club but were among seven players who shot 72 and were in a four-hole playoff for the final three individual spots. The top nine individuals and top three teams advance.

Santa Margarita (370) and Clovis West (380) will join defending state champion Torrey Pines, which won last year’s SoCal Regional after also shooting a 7-over-par 367. Cathedral Catholic finished fifth at 383.

“It’s going to be very hard to repeat,” said Drake.

Falcons senior Ryan Burgess, who won the San Diego section title two weeks ago, shot a 1-over 73. Teammates Danny Ochoa and Eric Peng each shot 72, followed by Toby Song (74), Robert Gojungco (76) and Aaron Strockis (78).

Clovis East senior Bryson DeChambeau had seven birdies en route to shooting a 6-under 66 for a one-shot advantage over Righetti’s Reilly McMahon to win the individual title that has been held by Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler.

La Jolla sophomore Ben Doyle, who won last year as a freshman, shot a 75.

“I didn’t play well,” said Doyle. “I definitely felt some pressure being the defending champion.”
